KARN at Theatre by QE2

Karn: Warrior

Synopsis
Karn: Warrior tells the epic tale of the mythical warrior Karn, who embarks on a quest to bring peace and justice to Ancient India. Based on the legendary stories from the Mahabharata:

• Karn grows up in the humble village of Champangari by the Ganges with his parents, Rahda and Adirath, and his younger brother Shon, unaware of his noble origins.
• As a teenager, Karn is taken to Hastinapur by his father, a charioteer for King Dritrashtra, to tend to the King’s horses.
• Aspiring to become a great archer, Karn faces the challenge of rising beyond his status as a stable boy to join the city's Princes.

Journey and Conflict
Karn's journey leads to the legendary battle between the Kauravas and the Pandavas in the Kurukshetra War, where:

• He learns of his true origins from the manipulative Krishna.
• Karn must confront his arch-rival, Prince Arjun, and discover the answer to his haunting question: "Who am I?"
